Porcupine room

GARDEN FLATLET

The garden flat named after nightly visits by porcupines

The Porcupine room is very popular with couples, single parents, fishermen and mountain bikers. It is a neat, comfy, self-contained annexe to the River House. Overlooking the lush, oak-tree shaded lawns and river view, the room is named after our nocturnal visitors, the porcupines.

The flatlet is suitable for a single person or couple, and an extra bed can be added for a child. It has an attached bathroom, kitchenette on the veranda for self catering and wide entrance.

It may be booked on its own or taken as part of the Otters’ Den for a group.
